Whining, squeaky noise fixed!! Intake manifold runners many people have this problem
apologies in advance for amateur showing here is the location of the problem this is the manifold valve  here is the new one  i used this ratchet and torx bit there is only two screws holding it on  here is the old one as you can see a no no in our x5's  two scrrws hold it in place along with the solenoid connector pretty straightforward install with room to replace it without having to move anything else. after this install the noise is gone and rpms have balanced out as well and no more shudders. hope this has been somewhat helpful

I don't recall seeing this part before, then again I wasn't looking for it. Is this part applies to 4.4i? This noise is during engine idling or driving?

I think I may have a similar issue. I notice when I accelerate I hear a whistling/squeaky sound. Did your noise only happen when you accelerate? Also in your first picture can you draw an arrow to where you are referencing? Don't know where the intake manifold runners are....:-(
I may have to take it to my Indy to check it out but if its something I can fix it would be great. Thx

circled are the culprits for our noises, the rubber elbow costs 27 at the dealer and the intake valve unit runs about 220-240 with climate change its easy to fail and its like a domino effect

after this fix my shuddering and shaking went away so did the squeaks and whistle sound (kinda sounded like a supercharger
 ) and response has gone up since air is flowing better

its a whole unit that the dealer sells and its like an elbow peice all together in order to install you definitely need to uninstall the intake hose to have arm room, realoem.com should help for that but its easier than it looks and alot easier on the wallet to do it yourself. if its cracked hurry up and change it out or youll find out the hard way lol good luck man

thanks! mrBrigante
I've been search this problem forever...
Dealer pointed out it was a cracked on the intake tube which caused, I realliy didn't want to trust their findings. Thank God I didn't after reading the post and waste my money on a problem wont be fixed. Worst of all, revisit the dealer is a hassle~ again, thanks for the write up and help me to get the parts I need, and fixing this "super charged noise"
